Windows XP WinAPI support for CheckBox controls
问题 I was having a look at the documentation for BM_GETCHECK and it seems that this functionality is only supported on Windows Vista and above. That is, this is not a supported message in Windows XP. A quick search online doesn't immediately yield an alternative way of getting the control state. Several other messages (this for example) that I would also expect to work on Windows XP are reported to not be supported. Does anyone have any insight into this? How does one generally handle Windows XP
